I don't have the ancestors of John but I believe this to be the Francis Marion who is the son of John. Francis Marion Prewitt's daughter, Sallie, was my husband's grandmother. The spelling is both ways among this family. I used this spelling for Francis Marion because that is what's on his tombstone. 1. FRANCIS MARION1 PREWITT was born April 10, 1843 in Alabama, and died February 20, 1913 in Tishomingo County, Mississippi. He married LUCINDA PARSONS 1864 in Mississippi, daughter of JONATHAN PARSONS and LYDIA PATTERSON. She was born March 19, 1847 in Tishomingo County Mississippi, and died Aft. June 1924 in Tishomingo County Mississippi. Notes for FRANCIS MARION PREWITT: Francis Marion Prewitt served in the Civil War. He enlisted in 1861 and served until surrender of the Confederate States in 1865. He served with Captain Moreland's Company under Col. Stone. Notes for LUCINDA PARSONS: Lucinda applied for a pension in June, 1924 on her husband, Francis Marion Prewitts' Civil War service. Her exact date of death is unknown but it was sometime after June 1924. Children of FRANCIS PREWITT and LUCINDA PARSONS are: i. DAN2 PREWITT, m. CLARICE QUALLS. ii. JOHN LEWIS PREWITT, b.
